It's either Polar Playground at Wachusett or the Bends at Okemo. Both are measured at 50'. Coffee Run is 1400'.

Mouse Trap at Killington is really short.

Longer then 50 ft though. I'd say give Killington 1 yr, 2 tops and they'll break it up into upper, middle and lower Mouse Trap, then it may make the shortest list.

Okemo has several short trails. I don't know of a single mountain anywhere that pads there trail count stats to the extent that Okemo does. The Bends is an example of that.

I think Okemo has the record for most trails packed into one open slope. I'm talking about the wide beginer area at the bottom of the mountain that is served by the 2 quads. I dont know exactly how many "trails" they say are there, but it's one to me.
As far as shortest trail...I'm not really sure but I bet it's probably at Killington with thier ridiculous trail count so they can claim they have 200 trails :roll: .

Black Mountain of NH has many cut through etc that are named but they are not considered trails. They say 40 something odd trails and glades but if they counted all the Cutthroughs like "Last Chance" they would about 70 trails.

Under Summit Quad at 'Ellen.

It's so damn short it doesm't show up on the Interactive trail map. :wink:

Never mind, it does, but you have to point in the perfect spot. 386'. :p Or, the average length of a Killington or Okemo "trail segment".

I would nominate Turkey Shoot at Okemo as the shortest trail, it is maybe 10 feet long. Turkey Shoot makes Zip look like Lower FIS.

I so rarely actually look at the names of the trails, I couldn't even begin to guess what's shortest. I usually look at the map, think about where I want to go, adn figure "Okay, down this way, second left, first right, second star to the right, and straight on 'til morning."
